My love, my love, you are like my child,
Love is not just about the body.
As long as we live on this earth,
Truly, your soul will unite with mine.
As long as we live on this earth,
Truly, your soul will unite with mine.
My love, my love, you are like my child,
Love is not just about the body.
My love, even the golden flowers in my hair
Call out only to you.
My darling, the music your bangles play
Speaks to me deep inside.
With my eyes wide open,
I am dreaming.
With my eyes closed,
I am searching for visions of you.
When your golden fingers touch me,
I turn into a flower.
As long as we live on this earth,
Truly, my soul will unite with yours.
My love, my love, you are like my child,
Love is not just about the body.
...
Without anyone telling them, without making a sound,
As fire and cotton draw close,
Who is the woman and who is the man,
As each dissolves into the other?
Honey drops upon the crown of my head,
And sweetens my very soul, my love.
I have forgotten this world entirely;
Bring me back to the way I was!
I breathe in your fragrance,
So that my life may live on longer.
As long as we live on this earth,
Truly, your soul will unite with mine.
As long as we live on this earth,
Truly, your soul will unite with mine.
